    Default 2017, GPS/CB/AM-FM Audio

    Will be getting a 2017 RT Limited next week.
    It will have a GPS. I will be adding a CB kit.

    The literature talks about Bluetooth for the GPS but says nothing about the GPS audio being integrated into the "main" audio system, along with the radio and intercom and CB.

    So does the GPS integrate with the main audio system ?

    Or can you get the audio from it only via Bluetooth ??
    And if that's the case, how can you end up hearing everything in the helmet headset ???

    I'm planning to get a new helmet anyway but had not really planned on any Bluetooth.

    The GPS will operate seamlessly as a part of the sound system. It will make it's announcements through your radio speakers (Silencing the normal radio output while doing it! ).
    If you want it to connect via bluetooth to your helmet: you'll need to buy the Dongle.

    on the bike!

    Since you are adding the CB/Comm system you will not need a bluetooth setup because the CB/Comm system uses wired headsets.
    you will shut your external speakers off and the system will use your headsets to listen to radio and cb and talk to your passenger. if you buy the optional passenger control then your passenger can talk on the cb too.

    Thanks to both for the replies.

    Can't do pictures yet 'cause I won't have it until 8/1 or so.

    It is "Champagne Metalic".

    And I thought I wouldn't but I really like the automatic transmission (well in all honesty, that might be because of the bigger engine too).
